Alex watches me from across his desk as I sign my name on the dotted line.
"I'm sure. I'm getting what I want out of it. And so are you. Seems like a good deal to me."
Jarvis points to another spot for my signature. "And here, please, Luna."
I feel Kingsley move next to me, as my pen dances over the contract.
When I'm done, I stack the papers, and hand them to Kingsley who quickly looks them over and then hands them to Jarvis.
"Well, Alex, you are now the majority shareholder in The Hamilton Group with 51% of the shares. Congratulations.'
He doesn't say anything for a second. Then, with a tear in his eye, he gets up from his seat, I get up from mine and we meet in a hug.
"Thank you for selling me your shares. Well, all but 1%."
"It's the way it should've been all along."
"No, I think he did it this way for a reason. He wanted to give you a chance to choose what part you wanted to play in The Hamilton Group. And for me to really know how much it meant to me. And how I'm ready to commit to it."
"You can let go of her now," Kingsley's voice interrupts our little moment, and I have to laugh, when Alex hugs me a little tight just for a second, to the sound of Kingsley's gruff voice saying again, "I said enough."
He finally lets go with an exaggerated sigh. "Fine. Easy there big fella. I'm 130 million out of pocket for an inheritance I always thought I was getting."
"Hey, I gave you a good deal, Lex Luther."
"Yes, you did. And I appreciate it. But it could've been better if you didn't have Kingsley Fucking Baxter negotiating for you."
Kingsley smirks and pulls me into his side.
"You're working with Baxter on a government contract that is going to ring in literally hundreds of millions of pounds for Hamilton alone over the next five years, and the second the contract is announced, your share price is projected to increase up to 400%.. You really want to start off our working relationship by quibbling over $20 million, Alexis?"
Alex rolls his eyes. "He's going to be insufferable to work with, isn't he?"
I giggle and press a kiss to Kingsley’s cheek. “Well, technically, as of today, he's not my trustee anymore. Just my sexy sugar daddy."
The gagging face Alex makes will stay with me for months.. "Yeah, well, don’t celebrate being free too hard, don’t forget as part of your shares settlement deal, we are now all working on the Hamilton House together as a joint three-way personal project between us. And I doubt that he's going to be quiet on what you're going to be doing with restoring that run down excuse for a hostel he gifted you."
“He can say whatever he wants. I have no legal reason to actually to listen. Right, honey?
“Yes, ma'am. My lips are sealed."
